Seven Steamship Lines

Form European

Unit Load Council

Seven steamship lines in Europe have announced the formation of the European Unit Load Council to promote the unit load system in Europe. The Council will also collect and exchange information on the unit load system and ex- change information on the tech- niques and economics of unit loads.

A joint advertising program will be implemented.

The members to date are: Con- cordia Line, Haugesund; Finnlines,

Helsinki; Independent Gulf Line,

Amsterdam; Royal Netherlands

Steamship Co., Amsterdam; Ma- ersk/Kawasaki Line, Copenhagen;

Meyer Line, Oslo; and Fred. Olsen & Co., Oslo. The council secretary is Capt. M. Markussen, Aslakveien 14, Oslo 7, Norway.

In the fall of 1969 a unit load council consisting of seven lines was formed in New York, and early this year the Pacific Unit Load

Council was formed in San Fran- cisco, Calif., composed of Fred.

Olsen Interocean Line, Knutsen

Line, and States Steamship Co. "We are delighted with the for- mation of the European Unit Load

Council as it means there will be a sustained and coordinated pro- gram both here and in Europe to inform shippers and receivers about unitization," said J. Monroe Sul- livan, vice-president, Interolsen

Agencies, Inc., and general agent for Fred. Olsen Interocean Line in

San Francisco. "We are in the transportation business and unitiza- tion is one of the methods of han- dling cargo which should be con- sidered by all shippers because in many cases it provides the lowest total cost transport," he added.
